It is easier to con someone than to get them to admit that they have been conned

The boiled frogs are coming

I'm sure you don't think that Mark Twain said "The boiled frogs are coming".
Douglas Melton, a biologist at Harvard University, said, "If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die. If you put it in cold water, it will jump before it gets hot—they don't sit still for you."

And the fact that he said "It is easier to con someone than to get them to admit that they have been conned" is irrelevant (in my opinion).

But he did say "Why do we respect the opinions of any man that ever lived? I swear I don't know. Why do I respect my own? Well--that is different."

“a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.”

Therefore why when the majority of those who could be bothered to vote wanted to leave the USE most of whom were from working class areas, who I assume are still daft enough to vote Labour, have all their MPs voting against a government who wants to uphold that which was democratically voted for. Of course all those that can see into the future know that it will be bad for the country, I wish I could see into the future to know when it is all going to end whilst all the rag, tag and bobtails keep trying to stymie the rule of law.

The Difference Between Stupidity and Genius Is That Genius Has Its Limits

Nobody can see into the future but people know that smoking is bad & eating your greens is good. You can definitely make your own destiny to a level & you can't deny that. I don't quite get the"democracy" thing though as everything Boris is doing is anti-demicratic & dictator-like.

You don't seem to get that many MPs are trying to stop a No Deal Brexit, but not necessarily Brexit. Only a small percentage of people actually want a No Deal brexit so your argument seems a little silly Bristle.

Within the past two months, four polls have asked people if they are for or against leaving without a deal.
Despite differences in the wording of the questions, the results are remarkably consistent.
Slightly more people say they are opposed to leaving without a deal than state they are in favour.

Average of polls
Support leaving without a deal 38%
Oppose leaving without a deal 44%
Neither 11%
Don't know 10%

If you have been indoctrinated into thinking. That red barrel or double diamond or Carling or the Big Mac is worthy stuff by the sound bites and misleading advertising then the barmaid would be serving your interests well to offer you a sensible alternative
